Kate Middleton is reportedly considering a television interview to address ongoing rumors about her health, as the royal family faces speculation and conspiracy theories regarding her absence following abdominal surgery.
The Palace’s silence on the matter has fueled rumors, leading to anticipation for an announcement from the BBC, which has prompted further speculation about its nature.
An unnamed reputation and crisis manager, speaking to the Daily Beast, discussed the possibility of Kate participating in an interview with the British network to clarify her situation. However, he expressed caution, noting that royal interviews on the BBC have had mixed outcomes historically, citing Princess Diana’s controversial interview after her separation from King Charles.
The decision on whether to do an interview depends on the specifics of Kate’s health issue. For instance, if it’s related to a hysterectomy as rumored, there might be merit in explaining the situation through a newspaper interview rather than a televised one, according to the PR expert’s assessment.
Additionally, the expert recommended releasing the unedited version of a recent Mother’s Day photo featuring the future Queen with her children, originally posted on social media by the Waleses. This move could provide a more transparent view and alleviate some of the speculation.
Ultimately, the approach Kensington Palace chooses may involve sticking to their initial plan, possibly having Kate make a public appearance on Easter Sunday, and hoping that the attention surrounding her health rumors subsides over time.
